I took it to mean that since the crash he had been in hospital, in a critical condition and had now died. Wonder if he was on a bike with dropped handlebars? this is better written http://www.nottinghampost.com/news/l...st-dies-531747 |

So that cyclists don't have to look where they're going, you mean? After all, whatever happens to be in their way, no matter whether it's a pedestrian on a zebra or pelicon, a bus at a bus stop, a taxi picking up or dropping off punters, a van delivering to shops, a car stopped at red lights, another cyclist proceeding across a junction at 90 degrees on a green light or a brick wall on the dead end of a T-junction - has absolutely no right to be there, does it? |

Revealed: The UK roads where the most drivers are caught running red lights - is one in your area? The A523 in Macclesfield tops the list 184 drivers are caught every day failing to stop at red lights A separate Esure survey suggests one in four motorists admit to running a red light in the past year alone – equivalent to 9.3 million drivers.
